The AV Club reports that Chik-fil-A is considering opening a store by the lifestyle complex (Target, Home Depot, Panera) at Elston and Logan. May In-N-Out burger heed the call as well...
Their locations are no smaller than your average McDonald's, so I'm not sure that has any bearing on quality control. It has much more to do with the freshness of the ingredients.
I agree, though, it's unlikely In-N-Out would come to Chicago while it's still family owned.
No, no, and please no. Traffic there is currently about an 8.5/10 for wanting to drive a tank over everyone who doesn't know how to drive, the area really can't handle any more traffic without some serious street/light reconfigurations (and no one say anything about public transit, because it's only near two bus lines, with no bus going down Elston, so it's not really *that* accessible).

I highly doubt In-N-Out burger will ever come to chicago. Its still a privately owned company, i.e no franchises. What makes In-n - out burger so good as that there is still quality control due to the small size of locations. I wouldn't want that to be compromised.
